Summary Waitangi

The Treaty of Waitangi is an important part of New Zealand's history. The treaty was to let the British live in NZ without having any conflict towards the Maori. The Maori also wanted to have full ownership of their lands and resources. The two versions (Te Reo Maori and English) were very different though, so they had problems. In the Te Reo Maori version they would get to keep their land and do whatever they wanted themselves. In the English treaty it was written that the crown would make the rules for the people to follow. After the treaty was signed, the Maori people felt cheated on and a conflict began between the two nations. That conflict was called the war of New Zealand.

Tech Reflection

For our subject for tech this term we are doing robotics. For robotics this week we were introduced to Mrs Furgeson. To start it off we learnt what input, algorithm and output was. We had to make make another memory for our robots. Our robots were called M-bots. We could change their light colours when we turn them on.

Why plastic pollution is a problem for our coastlines - Explanation

What Plastic Pollution is a Problem for our Coastlines?

Did you know plastic pollution is a big problem to our ocean and marine life? Plastic pollution is taking over our coastlines. Plastic pollution is an environmental issue that affects our ocean, marine life and land. Many of our oceans are polluted with plastic. Think about Thailand, their oceans are so polluted that it changed from normal looking water to pitch black.

When the plastic washes up into the water, seabirds and marine animals mistake it for food. They also get caught up in plastic and the rubbish which ends up deforming the marine animals. There are pictures of turtles who’s shells have been deformed because they have been caught up in the plastic. Do you feel good about that?

When you litter your rubbish it goes to the water system and leads to the ocean. It gets washed up on our coastlines. Then it degrades into small pieces of plastic that get washed into the ocean. Seabirds and marine animals mistake it for food or get caught up in the plastic who then get deformed.

If you see a piece of plastic just take some time to pick it up and put it in the bin. A small action could make a big change. So use the rubbish bin.

All the batters hit the balls and the fielding team has to get the balls back to where it was and, the batter with the most run wins. Then we moved on to bowling. For bowling we got into teams of 4 - 3, after bowling the bowler has to run to be the keeper. Next when you hit the wicket you put the cone on the wicket.

Ordering numbers

In the second activity we worked as a group to put the population numbers order. To do this we used our place value knowledge.
